Beatles Biopic Cast Recreates Iconic Abbey Road Cover
Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson have recreated the Beatles’ Abbey Road crossing while filming Sam Mendes’ four-part Beatles biopic project in London. The scene offers a new look at the actors in character ahead of four interconnected films scheduled for theatrical release in April 2028. Key Takeaways Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson filmed a recreation of the Abbey Road album cover in London. Mescal plays Paul McCartney, Keoghan portrays Ringo Starr, Quinn plays George Harrison and Dickinson portrays John Lennon. Sam Mendes is directing four interconnected films, with each movie told from the perspective of one Beatles member. The project has full life-story and music rights from Apple Corps and the Beatles rights holders. Sony Pictures plans to release the films theatrically in April 2028. The four actors were seen walking across the road in character as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and John Lennon. The sequence recreates the formation associated with the cover of the Beatles’ 1969 album Abbey Road. Rather than rebuilding the setting on a separate production stage, filming took place outside Abbey Road Studios at the crossing connected to the original photograph. The location gives the production a direct visual link to both the album artwork and the Beatles’ recording history. The original cover photograph was taken by Iain Macmillan on August 8, 1969. Macmillan photographed the four Beatles crossing the road during a brief session outside the studio, producing six images before one was selected for the album cover. The new recreation is one of the clearest public looks yet at all four principal actors together in their Beatles roles.
